DataPath launches satellite terminal
DataPath has introduced DataPath QCT90, a lightweight, man-portable satellite terminal available in configurations for both military and commercial markets, the company announced on 10 September.
The DataPath QCT90 weighs 20.6kg, has a diameter of 90cm and is designed for one person to carry and set up. The company offers the terminal in various configurations with certifications across various satellite fleets, including the US military's Wideband Global Satellite (WGS) network. It can be used in remote military operations and operates over Ka, Ku and X frequencies, supporting a wide range of modems.
The terminal uses military-grade carbon fibre and die cast magnesium. It has no loose cables and has only two separate parts. The QCT90 can be set up and made operational in about three minutes from the time it is taken out of the case or backpack. It has a RF transmitter unit, modem and an integrated antenna, all of which lock into a custom-built folding tripod.
David Myers, president and CEO, DataPath, said: ‘Our customers operate in remote and challenging environments that simply demand a higher specification of quality and performance. We are proud to bring the innovative QCT90 to market, the first new product engineered by DataPath since we re-launched as a privately owned company little over a year ago.
'The launch of the QCT90 is the first in a series of investments DataPath is making in a renewed line of class-leading products and solutions designed exclusively for the world's most challenging communications requirements.’
